I think you meant 8MB not 8GB, right? Take a look at v$sort_usage and find these sessions that are filling the TEMP TS. >From there find the sql behind this temp space and try to figure out if it's normal to allocate this space or there is a CARTESIAN join for example that is giving you this problem.
It's not weired to fill a 32 GB temp TS in a data warehouse application.

My temp tablespace is growing abnormally -from 3GB -> 32 GB (Filled up disk). DB is 81700 on Tru64 Unix, 120GB in size, appx 150 front-End users running billing application for appx 200,000 customer base. Initially set-up as OPS but undone though init.ora file still has PARALEL_SERVER=TRUE, only one node is active. I've seen a refernce to OPS in relation to de-allocation of extents but can't get further. Any help will be appreciated. --- CSW -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Simon Waibale INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
